Carrie Underwood is not pregnant with Canadian hockey player husband Mike Fisher's child and this is a good thing! According to the season 4 winner of American Idol, kids are far from being on her mind. The 30-year-old singer feels that she is not old enough to start adding to her family and reflected back on her childhood in a recent Marie Claire interview.

"I don't feel old enough to have kids. I know I am mature. But being responsible for another human being?" Underwood told the magazine. She has been married to Fisher for about three years now and readily shoots down any pregnancy rumors.

"Technically I have siblings but they are quite a bit older than me - I was the accident - so I have the only-child syndrome going on," she said, revealing some of her past.

"I'm not a mushy person at all. We were never a huggy family. Or a 'let's talk it out' family," Underwood explained. "I'm a little more selfish, a little more independent, a little closed. I do wish I were softer. I wish I were able to form relationships better."

The Grammy Award-winner explained that this independent upbringing has lead to her "cool demeanor" today. She even admits to having experienced panic attacks over the years of success.

"At the beginning of my career, I used to have panic attacks. People were touching me, screaming - it made me really nervous. In public, I just get nervous," she said. "It's a physical reaction, feeling like the walls are closing in. The fans are great. It's not their fault. I don't ever want to come across as ungrateful. But on my end, it is hard for me to process. Because I am still just me."
